    I think Khan has a chance to run around and win a boring UD, but Valero is good at getting him opponent to engage with him, so I put Valero would win by brutal KO

    Most likely a valero ko. dont think khan would be able to stay away from that onslaught for 12 rounds

    Yes and no.

    Yes Valero wont have met a guy with Khans speed before and a guy who is that tall 5'10.

    No because whilst Khan has alot of advantages against the people he has been fighting, he has yet to maximise them to full effect (except for Kotelnik).

    Plus whilst Valeros resume isnt top notch, Khan has been beating blown up super featherweights and **** Jewish fighters:D

    But i can see how people could see Khan winning, but i like Valero in this one if it happened tomorrow.

    I would pay twice the price as normal to see this fight. I don't care how good khan is or how long the fight goes...you know Khan's doing his newborn Bambi impression at LEAST once in the fight. Probably right before he gets KTFO after getting up. I would love it and I could just see Valero tagging Khan with a jab, watching his legs go, laughing at him, then jumping in and decapitating him with a left hook.

    P.S.
    I love Valero and hate Khan passionately so I'm just a little biased...but Valero takes it by brutal KO. Khan would probably get dropped if he took Valero's left hand on his gloves.

    I think Valero beats him, probably by stoppage.

    I think people overstate the weakness of Khans chin. And then to compensate people overestimate his other abilities.

    Valero would grind Khan down and get a stoppage, but he would be winning on points.

    These Valero threads are getting out of control, he's a good boxer, hebeats 1 decent boxer & all of a sudden it's bring on Khan, Marquez, Pacquiao & Bradley etc.

    Why is Khan in that crowd so? All he did was beat Kotelnik

    I agree Khan shouldn't be in that crowd, i only mentioned him because of this thread, if Khan is ducking Madiana, he won't even want to know about Valero because he simply isn't a big name yet.

    I watched only Valero- Mosquera from Valero but I think the same.

    The guy is too wild, sorry.

    Good stuff. Khan would box his ears off based on 1 fight over 3 years ago.

    Khan would have to basically put himself in the shoes of Batman when he faced killer croc. The fight CAN go his way, but if he ****s up it's over. lol crazy analogy. but its the best i could come up with.
